Answer 1

You are using a service account. What you need to remember is that a service account is NOT you. Service accounts have their own Google calendar account Primary is its primary calendar.

String calendarId = "primary";
event = getCalendarService().events().insert(calendarId, event).execute();

This is going to add an event to the Service accounts primary Google Calendar which you can not see visually on the web.

Have you tried doing a events.list from your code this should show you the events on the service accounts google calendar.

If you want to be able to see this visually I suggest you create a calendar on your own personal Google Calendar account and grant your service account access to it by sharing it with the service accounts email address.
